This is National 4-H Club week. tales and made the American
All over America, hundreds ot country home the envy Of the
thousands of youngsters and lead- agricultural world.
ers are telling others what 4-H
has meant in our democratic
scheme of things.
The 4-H Club program grew dot
of agricultural and homemaking
clubs that were organized for rur-
al children around the turn of the
century. Those were the days
when scientists from the Agricul-
tural Experiment Stations drove
horse and buggy to farming com-
munities and held institutes to ex-
plain new cultural me.hods to
armers.
In those days, farmers and their
wives were not quick to change.
"What was good for Grandpa is
good enough for me" was pretty
much their rule of thumb. They
were sometimes violent in their
resistance to learning, especially
whcn new ideas cut across tra-
ditional grain.
But the early agricultural sci-
entists who drove the chuck-holed
roads, saw in the eager faces ot
rural childrem a yearning for
knowledge. And they saw a ling-
age between a child's learning and
the learning,of parents.
"Here is a new type of corn",
the scientists said to rural child-
ren. "Plant it alongside your fa-
ther's and compare yields and
quality at harvest time."
FARM CHILDREN responded.
They not, only planted corn. but
they raised improved selections ot
pigs, ca.tile, chickens, wheat and
other agricultural commodities. As
tle demonstrations paid off, inter-
est jelled into clubs made up ot
youngsters who were 1)aving the
way to better rural living.
Parents hat to shift from the
old t)aths. They eollld not shlnd
back and watch their children
beat them at tile farming game.
From Experiment Station Home
Economics. rural girls carried new
visions of the homemaking arts
to their mothers. Gradually, an
understanding of sanitation ancl
nutrition swept away old wire's
THE NATIONAL 4-H club
movement resulted from this phil-
osophy of learning how and shoW.
ing others. Although the 4-H club
program cannot assume all credit
f-- "c's abundance of food
...... en ,,a
and fiber, its edueatmnal concepts
were basic to these amumancies.
Nations throughout the world
recognized the validity of the 4-H
educational methods. Many have
copied or are copying the idea for
the betterment of their societies
as ours has benefited from it.
